Is it compiled with DVB support? I couldn't get DVB to work with it; after I loaded the driver module (cx88_dvb for my Nova-T card) Kaffeine still didn't display the DVB sections.

[easuter]

Hmm...looking at the build script, DVB doesn't seem to have been explicitly enabled.

[The Headacher]

Ok, I'll rebuild and enable it.

Thanks for the feedback roseway.

[roseway]

Not at all; thank YOU.

[easuter]

The Headacher's revised Kaffeine package is in the repo.

[roseway]

Wonderful! I'm off there now.

[roseway]

And I confirm that DVB works now. Very many thanks.

It's nice to hear it works, I have no dvb hardware to test it with. It took some tweaking but thanks to the guys in the kaffeine IRC channel I got it to compile right. Kudos to them.
